diligence and | |||
negotiation of signing | |||
the PPA was also | |||
carried out with 23 | |||
clients but because of | |||
the nonsuitability in the | |||
due diligence, the | |||
Power Purchase | |||
Agreement was not | |||
signed even after | |||
reaching to the last | |||
stage. | |||
3. Thereafter between | |||
October 2024 to March | |||
2025, the fresh | |||
p r o s p e c t i v e | |||
opportunities were | |||
converted and | |||
agreement for 1 Power | |||
